Jennie Augusta Brownscombe
Jennie Augusta Brownscombe (1850 – 1936)
In my last blog I looked at the life of the nineteenth century American painter, Anna Elizabeth Klumpke. Today I want to look at the life of one of her contemporaries, Jennie Augusta Brownscombe, who was born just six years earlier.
Jennie Augusta Brownscombe was born December 10th, 1850 in a small log cabin farmhouse, built by her father, near Irving Cliff in Honesdale, in rural north-eastern Pennsylvania. It was a picturesque area, which the historian, writer and author of the short stories, Rip van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Washington Irvine, described as:
"…Honesdale is situated between high hills on a plain through which two romantic mountain streams flow, uniting in the village and forming the Lackawaxen River. There are two wide basins where the streams unite, and the water was formed into the two most picturesque lakes. From the Eastern shore of one of these, Lake Dyberry, a solid ledge of serried and moss-grown slate rock rises almost sheer to the height of nearly 400 feet…"
Peasant Girl Before a Gate by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe
Jennie was the only child of William Brownscombe, originally a farmer in the English county of Devon who had left England to seek his fortune in America in 1840 and his American wife Elvira Brownscombe (née Kennedy), who was said to be a direct descendent of an original Mayflower passenger. Her mother who was a talented writer and amateur painter, nurtured her daughter's interest in poetry and art. Her early exploration of drawing is mentioned in the entry for Jennie Brownscombe in the 1897 book, American Women Fifteen Hundred Biographies:
"…She was studious and precocious, and about equally inclined to art and literature. She early showed a talent for drawing, and when only seven years old she began drawing, using the juices of flowers and leaves with which to colour her pictures. In school she illustrated every book that had a blank leaf or margin available…"
Jennie won awards for her art at the Wayne County Fair when she was a high school student.
The New School-Mistress by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe (1873)
In 1868, when Jennie was eighteen years old, her father died. To help herself and her mother financially, Jennie began selling illustrations to book and magazine publishers based on the landscape around her home and Irving Cliff. One such illustration appeared in the illustrated journal, Harper's Weekly, of September 20th 1873, entitled The New School-Mistress. She also accepted a post as a school teacher at the high school in Honesdale. Eventually she moved to New York to study art. To get an idea of what this young aspiring artist was like we need to see the description of her given by art historian, Florence Woolsley Hazzard in her article on Brownscombe for the three-volume biographical dictionary, Notable American Women 1607-1950, in which she described the young artist:
"…she was slender, with a thin face in which large brown eyes and a dimpled chin were distinctive, and reserved in manner. She lived simply with one companion or servant…"
Jennie Brownscombe left home and went to New York where she studied under the Paris-born academic-style painter Victor Nehlig who had come to America in 1850 and opened up a studio in New York city, and was elected as an academician in the National Academy of Design. In May 1871 Jennie graduated from the School of Design for Women of the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art more commonly known as the Cooper Union or Cooper Institute which was a privately funded college located in Cooper Square in the East Village neighbourhood of Manhattan, New York City.
Portrait of a Young Woman in Pink and Green by Jennie Brownscombe (1898)
For the next four years, until 1875, Jennie was enrolled at the National Academy of Design where she attended the Antique and Life Schools and studied painting under the tutelage of the American painters, Thomas LeClear and Lemuel Wilmarth, who was the director of the Academy. The Academy also paid Jennie to teach some of the classes and this helped defray the cost of her tuition. Whilst at the Academy Brownscombe won the first prize, the Charles Loring Elliott Medal, in the Antique School and the first prize, the Suydam Medal in the Life School, which was given annually by the Academy for achievements in life drawing and painting in the Life studies school.
Unfortunately, the Academy encountered financial problems at the end of the 1874/5 academic year and could no longer afford to employ Wilmarth and there was even talk that come the start of the next academic year in the autumn the Academy would not re-open. With the uncertainty as to whether the Academy, due to financial pressures, would cancel all classes temporarily, forcing students to forgo drawing from life for a significant period of time, something had to be done. Apart from this uncertain future, many of the students were also unhappy with the rigid artistic teaching at the Academy believing the favoured academic-style was too conservative especially in comparison with what was happening at the time with the art in Europe with the birth of Impressionism. And so, in 1875, Lemuel Wilmarth and a group of artists, most of whom were students at the National Academy of Design, and many of whom were women, founded The Art Students League and Wilmarth was confirmed as its first president.
The present Art Students League of New York Building, West 57th Street, New York
Jennie Brownscombe was one of the founder members of the Art Students League. Another founder member was the sculptor and illustrator James Edward Kelly whose comments about Jennie were published in 1925 in the Fiftieth Anniversary of the League publication. He recalled the young artist:
"…Although I used to see Miss Jennie Brownscombe when she came to Harper's Art Department, and as a student at the old Academy, I always visualize her sitting at her easel – working, working, ceaseless and untiring. The outcome was a series of paintings and etchings showing the halcyon days in the home life of America…"
The League opened its school with studio space on the top floor of a building at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 16th Street. Things were somewhat cramped and classes were conducted in just one small room. It proved so popular that many more art students joined and by the end of the first semester the League had to rent the whole of floor to accommodate this new influx of artists. Jennie returned to the National Academy of Design in 1879 and remained there as a student until mid-1881.
After completing her studies at the Academy, Jennie travelled to France and studied in Paris under the Polish-born American painter, Henry Mosler, who became well-known for his Breton peasant depictions. Jennie returned to the United States but an eye injury curtailed her art until 1884 at which time she returned to painting in her studio in New York City. Whilst living in New York she found time to make regular visits back to her mother who was still at the family home in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Her mother died in 1891.
The Homecoming by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe (1885)
Jennie Brownscombe's art was of various genres. Many of her works focused on the observance of rural family life and it was the sentimentality of these works which appealed to buyers who liked to remember those trouble-free days. A good example of this is her 1885 painting, The Homecoming, which depicts the return of a husband and the greeting he received from his wife and child on the doorstep of their log cabin. Everything we see in the painting oozes with happiness and contentment – what's not to like about it?
Ready for the Oven by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe
In another depiction of contented homeliness, Ready for the Oven, we see a lady in the kitchen. She holds a pie, which she has just made and is about to put it into the oven to bake. Again, this is a work depicting the joy that can be had by simply staying at home and looking after one's family. It is a depiction of a clean and well organised country kitchen and the rural idyll. A lot of her genre works featuring rural life were about a clean and contented homely American lifestyle and is in stark contrast to the rural/ peasant kitchens we see depicted in some of the Dutch genre paintings where realism seemed to mean showing less than clean interiors and chaotic lives, often caused by the demon alcohol. So, what did people want from their paintings – idyllic sentimentality or realistic hell on earth?
Love's Young Dream by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe
One of the most popular example of Brownscombe's idyllic but sentimental depictions is her idealized painting depicting rural family life which is entitled Loves Young Dream. The painting has two distinct parts to it. In the right foreground, and squeezed in, we have the porch of a wooden house and three people whilst on the left and in the background the space is open and clutter-free as we look towards the hills shrouded in mist but it is this openness which gives us the sense of vast sweeping and unspoilt countryside and set up of the painting highlights the isolation of the small house.
We see a young woman standing on the outside step of her modest wooden home. Her expression is one of yearning, as she looks out at the winding country lane which leads to her family home. In the distance, we can just make out a man on horseback approaching. Could this be who she is awaiting? On the right of the painting we see an elderly couple sitting on the porch. One, probably her mother, looks up from her knitting and looks at the young woman and probably worries about her daughter's expectations. She is completely oblivious to the fact that the cat is playing with her ball of wool. The other person on the porch is an elderly man who is completely engrossed in his book and has no time to observe his daughter, wife or the approaching rider.
The New Scholar by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe (1879)
In another example of her genre paintings we have The New Scholar which captures what school days were like in a rural community in the past. In the work, we see a very young girl heading to her lessons. She is new to the school and is somewhat frightened at the reception she would receive from her fellow pupils. She walks towards the school room door, head down, but surreptitiously eyeing some of her fellow pupils whilst they line her approach and blatantly study her. This is yet another beautifully portrayal of individuals. This work is housed in the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma
The First Thanksgiving held at Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, Massachusetts by Jennie Brownscombe
In some works, she would produce depictions of special moments of American history such as the arrival of the first settlers in her painting The First Thanksgiving held at Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth, Massachusetts which commemorated the event which took place in early autumn of 1621, when the 53 surviving Pilgrims celebrated their successful harvest, which was an English custom. Another reason for the depiction by Brownscombe could have been the colonial roots of her mother's family.
In the painting, we see a group of Puritans in dark and dour-looking clothes gathered around a table being blessed by a pastor. The idealisation of the depiction shows friendly native Americans looking on at the ceremony and are ready to participate in this communal meal. In the background, we see a solitary log cabin set amongst the yet to be developed New England countryside. This is a quintessentially American depiction and paintings like this were very popular with American public. Brownscombe sold the reproduction rights to more than a hundred of her genre and historical works which were then used by publishers to produce prints or incorporate them in calendars and greeting cards.
Washington Greeting Lafayette at Mount Vernon, 1784 by Jennie Brownscombe
Brownscombe was among a group of artists of the Colonial Revival Movement, which was a cultural movement which was both an architectural and decorating style. It was very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was motivated by a romantic adoration of the early American past. Paintings were created by artists depicting early American scenes. Colonial heroes like George Washington and colonial history were popular subjects for artists, inspired by the 1876 centennial, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. Jennie Brownscombe's painting Washington Greeting Lafayette at Mount Vernon is a classic example of Colonial Revival Movement painting.
Colonial Minuet by Jennie Augusta Brownscombe
Brownscombe developed a structured lifestyle geared up to her artistic life. She would travel to Italy and spend the winters in Rome and it was during one such winter she met the American still-life and landscape artist George Henry Hall who had a studio in the Italian capital. They became close friends and Hall who was twenty-five years her senior, became her mentor. During the summer months, the two of them would return to Hall's American residence, in Kaaterskill Clove Valley, in New York's eastern Catskill Mountains, lying just west of the village of Palenville. When Hall died in 1913 at the age of eighty-eight, he bequeathed the house and studio to Brownscombe.
Children Playing in the Orchard by Jennie Brownscombe (1934)
In 1932 Jennie Brownscombe suffered a stroke which temporarily stopped her painting but two years later in 1934, when she was eighty-four years old, she completed a work for the Lincoln School in her hometown of Honesdale entitled Children Playing in the Orchard.
Jennie Augusta Brownscombe, who never married, died on August 5th, 1936 four months before her eighty-sixth birthday and was buried next to her parents in the Glen Dyberry Cemetery in Honesdale next to her parents.
Jennie Augusta Brownscombe (c.1930)
I end this story with a quote from the blog The Jellybean Tree which perfectly sums up the life and work of Jennie Augusta Brownscombe and why her paintings appealed to so many:
"…Jennie Brownscombe was a pilgrim in her own way, making a name and life for herself in a time when most women were still housewives and mothers. She tapped into a talent and nostalgia that warmed the hearts of her viewers. Artists like Brownscombe place a mirror to our lives, forcing us to see the beauty in every day. Creative types can sometimes become bogged down with visions of the fantastic. A reminder of the subtle grace of life is always welcome…"

Christian charity World Vision has launched its new Alternative Gift Catalogue for Christmas 2006 with 35 new and inspiring ethical gifts added to its range.
The charity hit the headlines at last year with its scheme which allows goats, cows, chickens and pigs to be sent to the developing world on someone else's behalf.
World Vision said it raised over £5 million pounds last year through the Alternative Gift Catalogue.
But whilst it all started with goats, you can now send over 80 different gifts from a mosquito net to help prevent the spread of malaria for £6 right through to a bore hole allowing hundreds in Zambia to get safe, clean water for £6,000.
Of course there are still the popular cuddly animal gifts too in this year's Alternative Gift Catalogue, like a ram and an Ox.
One of the great appeals of the Alternative Gift Catalogue has been that it is so easy to purchase the gifts online at the Alternative Gift Catalogue site. You simply select your gift, and then a card with a personalised message, which is sent to the person on whose behalf you are making the gift.
The Alternative Gift Catalogue is part of World Vision's carefully planned initiatives to help some of the world's poorest communities make their way out of poverty. This is because the gifts arrive in the context of World Vision's long-term development programmes. Here, community leaders and local committees helped by dedicated national staff-identify their needs and priorities, including the gifts featured in the Alternative Gift catalogue. It means the gifts you buy are really needed - and will be treasured when they arrive, says the World Vision charity.
And in the event that the gifts that are purchased are over funded, they will send an equally needed gift to those in need. This is only done after all community requests represented in the Alternative Gift catalogue have been fulfilled.
It is this kind of smart thinking that has made World Vision, which is a Christian charity, one of the world's leading relief, development and justice agencies. They are also one of the largest- presently helping more than 100 million people in nearly 100 countries in their struggle against poverty, hunger and injustice, irrespective of their religious beliefs.

A Better Approach?
November 28, 2021 Criminal Justice, Local GovernmentAlbuquerque, new approaches, policing, public safetySheila
In my continuing effort to find positive aspects of our gloomy socio-political landscape, I came across a very interesting experiment in public safety being conducted in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The city has established what has been named the "Albuquerque Community Safety (ACS) department."
Launched in September, the agency is intended to complement the city's police and fire departments by having teams of behavioral health specialists patrol and respond to low-level, nonviolent 911 calls.
While it is modeled after programs in a few other cities, ACS is the first stand-alone department of its kind in the country. The initiative is still nascent – Mr. Adams and Ms. White are one of just two responder teams at the moment. But authorities here hope it will defuse the kinds of tensions between police and residents that have surfaced in cities across the country and help reinvent 911 emergency response systems, which many believe have become antiquated.
As slogans go, "Reinvent policing" or "Promote Community Safety" are certainly less off-putting than "Defund the Police," but the premises are similar; the idea is to relieve police from the need to respond to situations that don't pose an immediate threat to public safety and that can be better handled by social workers or mental health practitioners who have the often-specialized skills to handle certain interventions.
Most police interviewed about such approaches are enthusiastic, not defensive.
"What Albuquerque is doing is really exciting and innovative," says Nancy La Vigne, executive director of the Task Force on Policing at the Council on Criminal Justice, a think tank based in Washington, D.C. Police chiefs "almost universally say we'd love to offload these calls to other people. We need these types of models to be developed and implemented, so we can learn from them."
Even before the police killing of George Floyd sparked massive demonstrations, a number of cities were debating how to reduce the use of lethal force, how to increase meaningful accountability, and how chronically understaffed departments might reduce the need to send uniformed officers to deal with issues that aren't, strictly speaking, posing a public safety threat.
In Albuquerque, those discussions were made more urgent by the city's experience; between 2010 to 2014, "members of the Albuquerque Police Department shot and killed 27 people."
One of them, in March 2014, was James Boyd, a homeless man diagnosed with schizophrenia. An investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice concluded a month later that APD "too often uses deadly force in an unconstitutional manner," including against "individuals who posed a threat only to themselves." The police entered into a court-approved agreement with DOJ that October, which the department has been operating under ever since.
Initially, police shootings in the city decreased for several years. But more recently they have begun to rise again. From 2015 to this year, Albuquerque had the second-highest rate of fatal police shootings in the country among big cities.
If that wasn't worrisome enough, the state's behavioral health system was disintigrating. A criminal investigation into whether 15 of New Mexico's largest mental health providers had been defrauding Medicare led to the state freezing their funding. They were subsequently cleared of the the allegations, but according to the report, the state's mental health system has never fully recovered.
Albuquerque's aim with its new initiative was thus aimed at revamping its entire emergency response system, and not simply to reform policing.
About 1 in 4 people killed by police since 2015 had mental illnesses, according to a Washington Post database. Many of those killings occurred after the families of those people called the police for help.
"The default response is to send police to a scene and hope they solve whatever is happening," says Dr. Neusteter. That's "really not in anyone's interests."
"By and large [ACS] is a positive move" for policing in the city, says Peter Simonson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico. "It holds the promise that perhaps someday we will see fewer armed officers interacting with people in mental health crisis."
The effort in Albuquerque is still in its early stages, and police organizations and community groups will be watching to see how it works. The early indications are positive.
Wouldn't it be great if the Left could stop having to defend clumsy language and the Right would admit that American cities need to handle public safety more effectively and with fewer tragic outcomes–if we could all just put our ongoing culture wars on hold, and instead work collaboratively to use emerging information and expertise to make our communities safer?
I guess I'm just a dreamer……
July 30, 2021 Public Policy and Governancecameras, cars, public safety, speedingSheila
I need to vent.
Today's post isn't about politics, or a particular public policy, or (except tangentially) my worries about the environment. It's about the insanity of what–for lack of a better descriptor–I'll call America's "car culture," and it was triggered by my recent drive from Indianapolis to a beach in South Carolina.
It isn't as though I haven't been concerned with driving behaviors I've seen locally. We have lived in downtown Indianapolis ever since 1980, and watched as more and more cars have evidently confused residential city streets with racetracks. I've lost track of the number of times a car has sped around me, only to come to a stop beside me at the same traffic light. (Do these speed demons think they're saving time? They aren't.)
But it was on our recent trip South that I witnessed a seemingly unending parade of drivers engaging in unimaginably reckless behaviors.
Now, honesty compels me to begin this rant with an admission: I have a heavy foot, and when I'm on an Interstate–especially during a very long drive–I can hit speeds of 79 or 80. But during this drive, even when I was going that fast, cars passed me as if I was standing still. Not only that–a number of them were weaving through three lanes of traffic, presumably unable to bear the thought of following some other vehicle. In at least one instance, we were slowed by a major wreck and a number of emergency vehicles involved in removing the injured and clearing the Interstate–I was actually surprised there weren't more.
Every so often, we passed an electronic sign warning that additional efforts to catch speeders were being deployed, but I saw no evidence of those efforts.
It's bad enough that America's car culture contributes so heavily to the pollution driving climate change. It's bad enough that the constant need to add lanes and reconstruct interchanges consumes untold amounts of our tax dollars, snarls traffic and triggers road rage. It's close to unforgivable that we allocate far more resources to streets and roads than to mass transit and rail. But those are issues for a different rant.
What I don't understand is why we don't deploy available technologies to address an obvious and growing problem.
When we leave Indiana for the beach by car these days, we take a new toll bridge into Kentucky. We no longer have to stop to throw quarters into little buckets—the time-honored method of paying a toll. These days, we don't have to slow down or stop–a camera takes a picture of our license plate, and we get a bill in the mail. Camera technologies have come a long way, and the upfront costs of installing them would easily be repaid by the ticketing they would facilitate. For that matter, if the driving I saw during this recent trip is any indication, we could repave America with the proceeds of ticketing.
I can hear the protests: cameras would invade my privacy! In my view, this is akin to the equally tone-deaf and selfish refusals to be vaccinated. In both cases, refusal clearly endangers others.
A speeding automobile is potentially a deadly weapon–a reality the law recognizes. We allow sobriety checkpoints in order to control impaired driving (an acknowledged deviation from the 4th Amendment); we require drivers' tests as a condition to allowing people to operate a motor vehicle.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at this reluctance to address the danger of speeding automobiles. This is, after all, a country that refuses to impose even the most reasonable controls on lethal weapons. But I do wonder: Where are all those "pro life" people when they might actually do some good?
Is It November Yet?
July 5, 2015 Local GovernmentCity-County Council, Democracy, Mayor Ballard, public safetySheila
Every so often, our Accidental Mayor does something to remind us why it's not a good idea to elect people who don't understand how government is supposed to work.
As reported on the IndyDemocrat blog, Council President Maggie Lewis recently issued the following statement:
"Very recently I was informed that Mayor Ballard unilaterally authorized a withdraw of $6.8 million dollars out of the IMPD general fund without consultation or approval from the Council. This is not how good municipal government works. The Council recently overrode the Mayor's veto to add appropriations to fund critically needed pursuit rated vehicles and necessary upgrades to IMPD facilities. His decision means many IMPD officers will continue to operate substandard vehicles and train at outdated facilities. We have too few officers on the street to begin with and this action by the administration may put at risk the city's ability to fund this Fall's final recruit class of 2015. I call on the Mayor to immediately reverse course and follow both the letter and spirit of Indiana law by returning the money to IMPD now."
The most important sentence in that statement is "This is not how good municipal government works."
Perhaps the Mayor had a perfectly good reason for withdrawing those funds. Or perhaps he didn't. The purpose is irrelevant; the "rules of the game" require the Mayor and Council to communicate, to work together, and to jointly authorize fiscal decisions. The fact that the Council is controlled by a different political party than the Administration does not eliminate that requirement. (I should note that, back in the days of the Hudnut Administration, factional disputes among the Republicans on the Council made relations every bit as testy as the partisan divisions today–but despite a lot of grousing, the Administration didn't try to "sneak" things past the Council.)
Process matters.
Government in a democratic system is not run like the military, or like business, where the person at the top of the pyramid makes decisions that others must follow. That's one reason why calls to run government "like a business" are so misplaced–government isn't a business. It should be run in a "business-like" fashion (meaning efficiently and cost-effectively), but we should never lose sight of the fact that government's mission is not focused on the bottom line, and the rules by which it operates must meet democratic accountability standards.
Mayor Ballard isn't in the Marines anymore. He doesn't get to unilaterally call the shots.
Aside from the inappropriateness of the Mayor's action, I can't help wondering: what was the money used for? In a city with an unacceptably high crime rate, what was more important than (our already grossly underfunded) public safety?
Mayor Ballard's Very Strange, Utterly Misplaced Priorities
July 8, 2013 Local Governmentcricket, Indianapolis, Mayor Ballard, priorities, public safety, tax capsSheila
Anyone who lives in Indianapolis and reads or listens to the news knows that Mayor Ballard recently vetoed a bipartisan measure passed by the City-County Council that would have increased the size of the police recruit class. He says we can't afford it.
The news also confirms that Ballard is hell-bent on spending $6 million dollars to build a Cricket field.
A friend recently sent me the following clip from a news story, in which Ballard defended his priorities.
During an interview last week, Ballard grew impassioned when asked about the decision-making behind the nearly 50-acre sports complex and the shaky history of the United States of America Cricket Association. (It has new leadership after struggling to put on cricket tournaments in recent years.) He called local reaction to the plans "very upsetting." "We have basketball courts, swimming pools, tennis courts, baseball fields — we have all these other sports — and these guys have nowhere to play rugby, hurling, lacrosse, Australian-rules football, cricket," Ballard said. "Why are they not allowed to have their fields, too? … I think, as a mayor, that's a good thing to be doing."
Let's deconstruct this. (I will try to do so without hurling.)
Because our parks have swimming pools and basketball courts, we have an obligation to offer cricket and lacrosse fields? Why not dodgeball (which actually has more fans than cricket, at least judging from Facebook likes)? How about people who compete in hammer-throw tournaments? Curling? Surely Ballard is not suggesting that this is some sort of equal protection issue–that taxpayers have an obligation to meet the sports needs of aficionados of even the least popular sports?
And I'm still debating the propriety of government providing golf courses…
If there is one thing on which virtually all Americans agree, it is that providing public safety is a government obligation. (That may be the only thing Americans all agree on.) Police may not be as exciting as cricket (actually, they are; I've seen cricket), but providing adequate police protection is–along with ensuring that we can flush–an absolutely basic government function.
So, as Ed Koch might have asked, how are we doing?
According to the Mayor's own task force, the Indianapolis police force is short 685 uniformed officers. The national average is 2.5 officers per 1000 residents; the current IMPD ratio is 1.7 officers per 1000.
The murder rate in New York City is 3.4 per 100,000. The murder rate in Indianapolis is 17.5 per 100,000.
The City is shifting IMPD assignments in a desperate effort to put more cops on the street without actually adding personnel, but given our current staffing levels, that's equivalent to rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. The Mayor's own task force reported that there is no alternative to hiring more officers–redeploying may help at the margins, but there is no alternative to hiring more police.
Now, I'm not unsympathetic to the fiscal problems created by Mitch Daniels' tax caps. (Caps that Ballard supported, unbelievable as that is.) Constitutionalizing those caps was brilliant politics, and terrible government. The caps starve units of local government of badly needed resources, requiring not only creative fiscal management (we are running out of public assets to sell off), but also those "hard decisions" that politicians talk about endlessly but rarely if ever actually make.
The Council's proposal would have paid for the recruiting class only for the first year; the City would have to come up with the money to pay for the additional officers going forward. That would require hard trade-offs–at a minimum, fewer subsidies to local sports franchises, fewer cushy deals for developer friends of the Mayor. It might also require the Mayor to actually appear at the legislature–something he's been loathe to do, especially if such appearances would interfere with one of his frequent "economic development" junkets–and petition our state-level rulers to get rid of the 40 plus "funds" that currently prevent Indianapolis from setting its own priorities.
The problem is, unless the citizens of Indianapolis feel safe, we can't accomplish any of our other goals. We can't revitalize neighborhoods. Economic development efforts will go nowhere. The bike lanes, the Monon Trail and the justifiably lauded Cultural Trail will empty. Downtown businesses will suffer. There will be a downward spiral that will make all other efforts immeasurably more difficult.
We have a real public safety crisis in Indianapolis right now–a public safety crisis that could undo the years of progress we have enjoyed.
And instead of focusing on that crisis and working with the legislature to address it, we have an utterly clueless Mayor who is spending what little political capital he has on a cricket field.
Disturbing Questions
March 18, 2012 Local Governmentdowntown canal, IMPD, public safety, shootingSheila
We woke this morning to news reports that five teenagers had been shot while walking along Indianapolis' downtown canal. The shots evidently came from the parking lot of the Historical Society–where a wedding was taking place at the time.
As I write this, little is known except that two of the teens are in critical condition and no one is currently in custody.
It may be that this was one of those random acts that no city, no matter how safe or well-run, can prevent. We deceive ourselves if we believe that police can guard against every sudden eruption of violence. But this shooting, in the heart of our city and next to the canal that so many of us routinely walk or bike, raises sobering questions.
First, what is the relationship–if any–between the recent "discovery" of fiscal shortfalls in public safety and what some people living along the canal claim was a diminished police presence? (The fiscal situation itself raises very troubling questions about the honesty of the Administration's budgeting process during an election year.)
Second, if there were fewer police in the area, was that due to deliberate decisions about deployment, and if so, what were those decisions and why were they made? One story suggested that a number of officers were called to a brawl at the fire station at West and Ohio; do we have so few police that an incident in one place necessarily leaves other areas unprotected?
We don't know the answers to these questions, and asking them is not meant to assume the answers. But the questions need to be asked, because this event will have repercussions far beyond the personal tragedy it represents.
Civic and political leaders have been nurturing the rebirth of downtown since the 1970s. The canal is one of the "jewels" of that effort–a jewel that has been sadly neglected the past few years, as I have previously noted. It is an important amenity in a city without oceans or mountains. Developers have been enticed to make significant investments along its banks; museums and public buildings adjoin it. Maintaining it and keeping it safe for the residents and tourists who enjoy it is an important responsibility and should be a high priority of the current Administration.
When the media is filled with stories of shootings, when on-camera interviews feature onlookers declaring they no longer feel safe in the area, the result is to undercut years of painstaking effort, and to reinforce inaccurate stereotypes about the "dangers" of downtown.
Perhaps this was one of those random events that even the best policing couldn't have averted. Perhaps it was the result of public safety mis-management.
Or perhaps we are seeing the inevitable results of the anti-tax zealotry that added tax caps to the Indiana Constitution–tax caps that are starving local governments and decimating public services.
Whatever the answer, we need to find and fix it.

A fibre reminder – do you make the minimum?
Just recently the importance of fibre has been featuring in the news, mostly along the lines of improving our gut bacteria to help keep us well. So following on from that I thought it worthwhile to review a previous post and build on it by providing some examples of how you can build the fibre in your own diet to ensure you meet at least the minimum advised for people who live with chronic health conditions (in adults, 28g for women and 38g for men).
As a precursor to this encouragement to you to increase the amount of fibre in your diet, even aiming as much as 10g above the minimum, you need to do it gradually while drinking plenty of fluids (preferably water) and being physically active to get the greatest benefits.
More evidence is emerging relating to control of insulin resistance and protection of our immune systems being associated with increased fibre intakes. Additionally the Australian Dietary Guidelines discusses the evidence about fibre reducing fat absorption and risk of cardiovascular disease and bowel cancers. And then there's the 'traditional' view about improved regularity in our bowel movements. It seems there's no end to the potential benefits for increasing our fibre intakes, but so many of the people I see find it a challenge to do that.
When thinking about increasing our fibre intake, it's also important to understand that there are three main types of fibre: soluble, insoluble and resistant starch. We need a healthy balance of all three as they all play particular roles. Read more about them here.
I thought if we make a table for four examples of each meal of the day and indicate how you can add fibre along the way, it might help you to find some ways to improve your own daily intake (data taken from Calorie King).
So if your meal choices through the day looked kind of like this day plan in the table below, you'd be getting at least 41g of fibre per day of all three sorts.
This is very basic and just designed to give you an idea of how you ensure you get the fibre you're looking for each day. You'll notice I haven't made it a 'balanced' diet as my focus was just about fibre. You can read more here about that, but I have aimed for reasonable amounts of carbohydrate in each meal.
And using the toppers, you can easily add extra fibre to your breakfast cereal or your salads if you feel you need topping up. If you look in the health food aisle in the supermarket there are lots of fibre topper products. Just remember to bear in mind the carbs for your diabetes, and how much carbohydrate you want to choose each day.
You can make up your own similar tables using the fibre per serve off the labels of the products you're using and referring to www.calorieking.com.au for the ones without packets to guide you.
Hoping you've found this blog useful in working out how much fibre you're getting each day and how to top up with some high fibre ideas that you may not have thought of. Remember that ideally you see your own Accredited Practising Dietitian for a personalised consultation to ensure that your diet reflects your nutritional requirement for your medical conditions.

We Vow to Break the Yokes
On July 3, 2020 June 30, 2020 By RadicalDiscipleshipIn Race, Subverting Empire
By Grecia Lopez-Reyes, an L.A.-based community organizer. This was written for a memorial for George Floyd in L.A. (right) a few weeks ago.
Jesus of Nazareth, you who were wrongly accused and crucified by the state, break the bonds of injustice.
We have gathered here today in pain, grief, and anger demanding justice. We gather remembering the life of George Floyd, who as Jesus of Nazareth was crucified by the State. The murder of George Floyd and the wrongful killings happening in our black communities has shaken this nation. You have woken us up Lord, because justice demands it!
Lord, we acknowledge the pain and trauma that black communities have endured for hundreds of years. Generations before us have fought against oppressive systems of power and laws that have allowed slavery, segregation, and police violence. But today we say NO MORE! Enough is Enough!
We vow to break the yokes that oppress humanity, to comfort those who grieve, to fight for freedom and strength and for the true liberation of our brothers and sisters.
Lord, we live in a world that is cruel. We heard the cry of George Floyd when he said, "I can't breathe"- the disregard for human life is extremely painful.
May we commit to take on a fight that has already been difficult. The road is long. May we continue to shake this nation. May we vow to march, to raise our voices as one until we dismantle this oppressive system and break the bonds of injustice!
Today we mourn, tomorrow we fight until the end of our time.

Q: Making a row into a column I am trying to make a row into a column. That is, I have row = [2, 4, 8], and I need [[2], [4], [8]].
So I made this code:
row = [2, 4, 8]
column = [[]] * 3
for y in range(3):
    column[y].append(row[y])

column has to be [[2], [], []] after the first loop. But it was [[2], [2], [2]]. Does anyone know what's the matter?

A: Try this out:
raw = [2, 4, 8]
column =[]

for case in raw:
    column.append([case])

Concerning your question it should be because a list containing a value and the memory of the next iteration.
a = [1]
b = a
b[0] = 2
print(a)  # return [2]

A: You can just use:
column = [[i] for i in row]

as per the following transcript:

>>> row = [2, 4, 8]
>>> column = [[i] for i in row]

A: #see if this soves your issue
row = [2, 4, 8]

Kevin Camia Continues Classy, Clever and Cool Comedy With "Color"
Grazing. Serene. Cathartic. Anecdotes unspooled like essays with cranky and angsty and honest confessions and observations on love, race, masculinity and loneliness. Slick and malleable and nonplussed and synthetic and effective: nylon. Package art, with retro typography and weathered flourishes on a faux vinyl sleeve, alludes to the performer's throwback sensibilities. Terrific control over timbre, shifting from casual and unassuming to bombastic, hip or flippant. Kevin Camia may end up gaining notoriety as the next heavily appropriated cadence in American Comedy—a buttery flow that's amazing to try out and impossible to replicate—but, for now, he exists as one of its better, involving and evolving performers and writers.
"…it comes from a very real place."
Comedy albums can often be a landmark in a comic's career. An introduction or a reset button or the consummation of a bit, a piece, a narrative, an oeuvre, an era. Some of Camia's standout stand-up, incubating and delighting San Francisco audiences for years, is etched in Color. "Hazel Eyes of Faith" has one of the all-times—and hella SF Bay Area—renderings of the Son of God. "Bullied By A Foster Kid" contains some of the most striking illustrations of adolescence, its consequences, and may have the definitive—and most concise—word on the compass and prepubescent kissing. "Wild Horses" is the perfect companion to "Wild Horses", the proper "Wild Horses", according to Camia.
photo by Mandee Johnson.
Color is noteworthy as a sophomoric companion to 2009's Kindness. The distance is vast. While both bolster an easy weirdness and brilliant penmanship, Color, while recorded at the premiere Punch Line San Francisco, sheds its predecessor's clubby naturalism—omitting the host's introduction, less crowd work—as its material centers on introspection rather than contemporary worldliness. Still, there's also a continuity between the two albums: the mocked douche bags in embroidered dress shirts have become mocked douche bag European dudes in obscure jerseys; the 13-year-committed-to-the-idea-of-marriage relationship now a 19-year-and-ended heartbreak.
"This is gonna be a sad set."
With said heartbreak, there's a balance between idyllic romance and forlorn acceptance. There's no projected bitterness, no retaliation. No cause and effect, no recasting, no revision, no blame, no heroics, no martyrdom. Camia comes across as the self-proclaimed tender heart, out of his element, navigating personal complexes and structural folly inherent in being single. It's great. Because he's still a comic, still acerbic, a smartass. Same goes for his diary as a wimpy kid or sympathizing with white excellence or repping his religion. Color is scribed with refreshing evenness, endearing sentiment and a hilarious saltiness.
Color, released March 11, 2016, is available on Rooftop Comedy's Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon. © Rooftop Comedy. Recorded at Punch Line San Francisco on January 6th and 7th, 2016.

Over 50,000 students, union members and activists from all over Quebec marched through downtown Montreal on Saturday afternoon to protest proposed austerity measures in the upcoming Quebec budget.
Police arrested 10 people before the march began. The six men and four women—aged 20 to 25—were detained and scheduled to appear in court on Monday to face charges of conspiracy. According to police officials, the protesters possessed weapons and intended to use them.
Several police officers on horseback entered the crowd on Rue de la Cathédrale, where people were preparing to march. The police then separated a group of people—dressed in black with their faces covered—from the crowd.
A few people in the crowd tossed snowballs at the police as they were leaving.
Aside from that incident, the protest went smoothly.
The march, organized by La Coalition opposée à la tarification et la privatization des services publics and Alliance Sociale, began at Place du Canada and was thick with people for over six city blocks. Protesters crowded René-Levesque Blvd. and Ste Catherine St. before making their way to the rally on McGill College Ave.
Tuition hikes, the $200 "health tax," increased user fees and cuts to public services were some of the grievances voiced by protesters. Those measures are expected to appear in the 2011-2012 Quebec budget, which the Charest government is tabling this week.
The government has proposed measures that have angered many in an effort to balance the budget by 2013.
"We want to send out a clear message that hikes in tuition fees are not acceptable [and will not be accepted] by the Quebec society as a whole," said Louis-Philippe Savoie, the president of the Fédération étudiante universitaire du Québec.
Students from universities and CEGEPs around Quebec were out in full force Saturday. Many had painted red handprints on their faces to signify their anger at the proposed hikes. People held signs saying "L'éducation, c'est pour tout le monde" and "Charest eats kittens." Buildings and monuments around Place du Canada were peppered with "Charest dégage" graffiti.
The day before the protest, Fleming, 27, found out that she was accepted to Concordia for the master's program in media studies.
According Robert Sonin of Free Education Montreal, most master's degree in Quebec costs $3,150 annually in tuition. Quebec has the lowest tuition fees in the country.
It is expected that the Charest government will try to raise tuition to the national average over the next three years, which would amount to a 140-per-cent increase. This would eventually mean an additional $4,500 for students like Fleming. Those figures do not include additional ancillary fees, which vary depending on the department.
Fleming says she already has $20,000 in debt from her undergraduate degree from the University of Alberta. According to her, unless she receives enough funding from grants or the university, she will have to choose between going to school and adding to her debts or trying to work full-time and pay them off.
Fleming has been in Quebec for four years. She works two part-time jobs at the Atwater Library as a part of its Digital Literacy Project, a program that helps community groups become computer literate and use technology to create their own media. Her project for her master's degree is also focused on local Montreal neighbourhoods,specifically with the documentation of the destruction of community monuments in working class spaces in Griffintown during the 1960s.
"I moved to Quebec […] feeling that it was the one place I could go to receive a high quality education and still be able to afford [it]," said Fleming.
Many students on Saturday expressed concerns that they and their colleagues will have to make the choice between going to school or avoiding large amounts of debt. It is a decision that Fleming is not looking forward to making.
"I can't even fathom that right now. It makes me really depressed," she said, trying to laugh as tears welled up in her eyes.


This is very weird indeed.
It was really good but there wasn't much there to say that about. I think if you made it a bit longer then I would've scored it higher, but having said that it was fun, short SMA that I think everyone liked.


In June, BB&T, a long time supporter, partnered with the Sulzbacher Center to give our family dorm a much needed makeover. Volunteers from BB&T spent the day painting the second floor of the dorm. In addition to throwing on a fresh coat of paint to the walls, volunteers painted the trim, doors, and even replaced the floor boards.
BB&T wanted each room in the family dorm, to feel like a home. Therefore, BB&T decided to replace all of the linens in the family dorm as well. Each room had matching comforters, sheets, and new pillows. The families were thrilled to give their beds a makeover.
However, BB&T did not stop there. After completing the family dorm makeover, the employees of BB&T still wanted to do more. The employees made over 50 welcome kits that consisted of toiletries, for when people are entering shelter and over 20 move in kits, to get people started in their new homes. They also purchased items for the children such as, Texas Instrument calculators, car seats, and pack and plays.

The 'Jackass Forever' Trailer Brings Back All The Antics
What better time to gamble with life than when emerging from a pandemic?
by Sophia June
Obama was president when the last Jackass film came out. A lot has happened since 2013, and the world has grown arguably only more ripe to appreciate the wild stunts of Johnny Knoxville and crew. Thankfully, the trailer for the series' newest installment Jackass Forever was released Tuesday.
The trailer, which has text that reads: "When was the last time you got together with old friends to laugh your asses off?" and is set to Johnny Cash's "We'll Meet Again," promises a buffet of stunts including but not limited to pyrotechnics, large spiders, someone getting shot out of a cannon, coating someone in honey and salmon, then releasing a bear into the room. It also teases sone of the film's guest stars, which will include Machine Gun Kelly, Eric Andre, Tony Hawk, Shaquille O'Neal and UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou.
It's been 20 years since Jackass was first released as an MTV show before being made into a film in 2002. Jackass Forever marks the first Jackass film since the tragic death of cast member Ryan Dunn in 2011 and the firing of Bam Margera from the film after he broke his promise to remain sober during filming. Knoxville has also said that it will be his last Jackass film.
"You can only take so many chances before something irreversible happens," he told GQ earlier this year. "I feel like I've been extremely lucky to take the chances I've taken and still be walking around."
Fans on Twitter reacted enthusiastically and emotionally to the trailer:
After being delayed due to Covid, the film will be in theaters on October 22, 2021.

Since its founding, equity and inclusion has been central to GMS's mission through practices like our robust scholarship program and progressive pedagogy and curriculum.
At the same time, the school does not have an official role dedicated to DEI work. In past years, an active faculty Diversity Committee would meet every six weeks to two months to lead different initiatives. Last year, the Diversity Committee transformed into a DEI Task Force, including senior administrators, staff, and board members with the goal of elevating the importance of equity and inclusion work in the school.
This year, the DEI Task Force is split into working committees to help move us toward a strategic plan. We have two main committees, focused on documenting GMS's current equity practices and gathering resources to facilitate faculty learning.
At this juncture, we're looking for a consultant with deep experience and knowledge of industry best practices to guide us through a strategic planning process

An analysis of stakeholders' awareness, understanding, perceptions, and capacity (funders, board of trustees, faculty, staff, admin, parents, students, community, etc.)
Data to inform the current state
Articulate and align on a vision for what's next with respect to DEI efforts:
Using a shared understanding of DEI and existing frameworks, competencies, or good practices
Including goals for various areas of the school

Americanized form of Dutch Koens, a patronymic from Koen. Americanized form of German Kuntz or Kuhns.
Where is the Koons family from?
You can see how Koons families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Koons family name was found in the USA, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Koons families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1911 there were 7 Koons families living in Saskatchewan. This was about 64% of all the recorded Koons's in Canada. Saskatchewan had the highest population of Koons families in 1911.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Koons surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.
What did your Koons ancestors do for a living?
In 1881, the most common Koons occupation in Canada was Laborer. 67% of Koons's were Laborers. Laborer and Builder were the top 2 reported jobs worked by Koons.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Koons ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Koons family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Koons. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Koons census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.
There are 642 immigration records available for the last name Koons. Passenger lists are your ticket to knowing when your ancestors arrived in Canada, and how they made the journey - from the ship name to ports of arrival and departure.
There are 1,000 military records available for the last name Koons. For the veterans among your Koons ancestors, military collections provide insights into where and when they served, and even physical descriptions.
You've only scratched the surface of Koons family history.
What is the average Koons lifespan?
Between 1947 and 2004, in the United States, Koons life expectancy was at its lowest point in 1947, and highest in 2000. The average life expectancy for Koons in 1947 was 32, and 78 in 2004.
An unusually short lifespan might indicate that your Koons ancestors lived in harsh conditions. A short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family. The SSDI is a searchable database of more than 70 million names. You can find birthdates, death dates, addresses and more.


Can anyone help with this? Prof. Jim Fitzmaurice of the School of English, University of Sheffield, is looking for any surviving correspondence involving servants of Margaret and William Cavendish of Welbeck Abbey (Worksop) from the 1660s. Prof. Fitzmaurice is interested in Mr Proctor, Mr Clayton, Mrs Perkins, and Mrs Evans, and particularly two waiting ladies to Margaret - Mistress Evans and Mistress Remington. Margaret said that her waiting ladies read and wrote together, perhaps as a book discussion group and as women who commented on their own poetry, drama, etc. Please reply to Prof. Fitzmaurice here.

Il campionato italiano di calcio di Eccellenza regionale 2021-2022 è il trentunesimo organizzato in Italia. Rappresenta il quinto livello del calcio italiano.

Stagione

Novità
A questa stagione partecipano 37 squadre divise in 3 gironi, dodici per i gironi A e C e tredici per il girone B, una in più rispetto alle 36 (poi 19) della scorsa stagione: quindi, non essendoci state retrocessioni si iscrivono al campionato 2021-2022 tutte le squadre che vi hanno partecipato la scorsa stagione, inoltre, i posti lasciati dalle 2 promosse sono occupati da Grassina e Sinalunghese, retrocesse dalla Serie D 2020-2021, mentre nel girone B è iscritta l'US Livorno, squadra fondata proprio nell'estate 2021.

Formula
Per accedere alla serie D 2022-23, sarà necessario giocare due triangolari: uno tra le prime classificate di ogni girone, che determina le due promosse in Serie D e la qualificata agli spareggi nazionali come "Toscana 1", e uno tra le vincenti dei play-off tra la seconda e la quinta classificata, che non si effettueranno se il distacco è superiore o uguale a sette punti, che determina la squadra ammessa agli spareggi nazionali come "Toscana 2".

Le retrocessioni saranno sette: sei dirette, due per ognuno dei tre gironi, e una determinata dall'ultima classificata del triangolare tra le terzultime, determinate in caso di parità di punti da un eventuale spareggio.

Watch Game 7 of the World Series recreated with block minifigures
By Ben Cosman
Hey, remember Game 7 of the World Series? It was pretty good, right? The Cubs and Indians traded runs for most of the game, leading to Cleveland's eighth-inning comeback. Add a nerve-wracking rain delay and extra innings, and you get a dramatic Cubs win for their first championship in 108 years. Wouldn't you like to re-watch that over and over again until baseball returns to us in February?
Well, you can -- you can watch it (and every World Series game) in full or in a highlights-only version with MLB.tv. But if you're looking for a re-watch with a little more whimsy, Game 7 has been recreated with OYO minifigures:
The video even includes previously unseen footage of Jason Heyward's rain-delay pep talk:
Can we get Game 7 recreated with Furbies next, do you think?
